More Christmas Swaps

Yes I have signed up to a few Christmas swaps and I was sewing like mad to get them all finished on time.  This time the swaps were two I hosted over on Our Craft Group over on Facebook.

Firstly we had a Christmas secret swap and I was lucky enough to be sent these fabulous gifts from Julie



And I sent off to Anorina this table runner.


I also hosted a Advent swap and for 24 days we got to open gifts or all sorts from our partners and on the 25th we got to open our handmade one.  I had Agnes from Hungary and I got lots of lovely gifts with little notes and on the 25th I got this lovely table runner and coasters.


And I sent her this table runner for the 25th which she loved too.

SSCS Gifts

Well Christmas Day is over here and we are onto the leftover food now.  I got lots of presents and among them was my SSCS present from Julie over at Jewells
In this lovely Christmas box was a selection of lovely gifts.


And I  loved everyone of them






I sent mine off to Maria at The Next Stage and she has messaged me that she liked the gifts I sent her.

First was the ornament she got to open a little earlier, with some small goodies



Then the main one was a paper pieced table runner which I got the pattern from a recent Country Threads magazine





A very successful swap and thanks to Chookyblue for hosting it yet again
